DVD Reviews of The Murder of Fred Hampton
DVD Review: Fred Hampton
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent footage of the last speeches/appearances by Fred Hampton. Somewhat difficult to view the "murder" scenes (not for the squeemish). And the blatant cover-ups by Chicago police will leave your blood boiling!DVD Review: Murder of Fred Hampton
Summary: 5 Stars
Interesting documentary about Illinois leader of the Black Panther Party. Began as a documentary and ended as an investigation into circumstances surrounding leader's death. Gives insight and perspective on the fundamental belief system of the Party.DVD Review: A Grave Injustice
Summary: 5 Stars
This film displays the evil attitudes and destructive power of the Chicago police department in murdering a shining light named Fred Hampton. "Chairman Fred" as he was known to those who worked and knew him, as displayed in this DVD, is a very committed person in the struggle to uplift his people in his community through education, free clinics, and free breakfast and lunch programs (most of these programs, started by the Black Panther Party was taken over by the Federal Government). If those in power did not fear what Fred and the others in the BPP was doing, who knows what strides we would have made and achievements obtained earlier instead of later.
Description of The Murder of Fred Hampton
THE MURDER OF FRED HAMPTON began as a film portrait of Hampton and the Illinois Black Panther Party, but half way through the shoot, Hampton was murdered by Chicago policeman. In an infamous moment in Chicago history and politics, over a dozen policeman burst into Hampton s apartment while its occupants were sleeping, killing Hampton and fellow Panther Mark Clark and brutalizing the other occupants. Filmmakers Mike Gray and Howard Alk arrived a few hours later to shoot film footage of the crime scene that was later used to contradict news reports and police testimony. Recently restored and reworked by Gray, THE MURDER OF FRED HAMPTON is a chilling slice of American history.Also included is a short film, CICERO MARCH, which chronicled a group who defied Mayor Richard J. Daley s order to march into predominantly white Cicero to protest racism and injustice.
